Becoming Human: Unearthing Our Earliest Ancestors
Beginning, Tuesday, November 3rd at 8:00 p.m. on PBS-HD

NOVA presents a comprehensive three-part, three-hour special — investigating explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how we became human. Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m., beginning November 3rd on PBS-HD

The first program, “First Steps,” explores fresh clues about our earliest ancestors in Africa, including the stunningly complete fossil nicknamed “Lucy’s Child.” These three-million-year-old bones from Ethiopia reveal humanity’s oldest and most telltale trait — upright walking, rather than a big brain.

“Birth of Humanity,” the second program, tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors managed to survive in a savannah teeming with vicious predators, and when and why we first left our African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. Tuesday, November 10th at 8:00 p.m.

In the final program, “Last Human Standing,” NOVA probes a wave of dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis, that reveals new insights into how we became today’s creative and “behaviorally modern” humans and what really happened to the enigmatic Neanderthals who faded into extinction. Tuesday, November 17th at 8:00 p.m. on PBS-HD.

POV: The Way We Get ByA group of senior citizens has made history by greeting over 900,000 American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine.
On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, they've become famous among the soldiers who have passed through the airport in Bangor, Maine, on their way to and from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among their neighbors, they've become a source of pride. To a nation wrestling with the politics behind the wars, they're an inspiration. They are the "troop greeters" of Bangor, an intrepid group of retired and elderly citizens who have taken it upon themselves to greet every troop plane arriving or departing Bangor, which is the last and first piece of U.S. soil many GIs will see before and after their deployments. Wednesday, November 11th at 10:00 p.m. on PBS-HD.
